The coast

Nine breaks, from the Cape to Boranup

Over 30 breaks within reach of the house, from sheltered bays to world-class reefs. Each day your guide picks the break that suits the swell and your level.

  • Injidup Carparks
    Reef break

    Injidup Carparks ‘Carparks’

    Injidup · Yallingup

    Easy to reach at the southern end of the Injidup stretch, with a solid, workable wave without the intensity of its neighbours.

  • Three Bears
    Left-hand reef break

    Three Bears ‘Baby, Mama & Papa’

    Cape Naturaliste · Dunsborough

    A run of reef peaks with clean, playful walls and several workable sections.

  • Smiths Beach
    Beach break

    Smiths Beach ‘Smiths’

    Yallingup

    One of the most consistent beach breaks in the region, with rippable waves across a wide range of swell and tide.

  • Yallingup Main Break
    Right-hand reef break

    Yallingup Main Break ‘Yalls’

    Yallingup

    A standout of the region. It peels down the reef with real power and shape, and draws surfers from across the South West when it's on.

  • Huzzawouie
    Reef break

    Huzzawouie ‘Huzzas’

    Gracetown · Margaret River

    Inside Cowaramup Bay, the playful middle ground between its heavier neighbours: punchy, forgiving and fun.

  • South Point
    Left point break

    South Point

    Gracetown · Cowaramup Bay

    A long, flowing left with drawn-out walls. Room to link turns and find your rhythm down the line.

  • Margaret River Main Break
    Left and right reef break

    Margaret River Main Break ‘Margies’

    Surfers Point · Prevelly

    The region's most famous wave. Alive and always shifting, and one of Australia's premier big-wave arenas on a big swell.

  • Redgate Beach
    Beach break

    Redgate Beach ‘Redgate’

    Margaret River · Karridale

    A powerful, no-frills beach break with punchy shorebreak peaks. Consistent, uncrowded and a local favourite.

  • Boranup Beach
    Beach break

    Boranup Beach ‘Boranup’

    Margaret River · Karridale

    Backed by the towering karri trees of Boranup Forest. Wild, exposed and rarely crowded, a proper off-the-beaten-track surf.

Questions

Before you enquire

What level do I need to be?

Beginner-intermediate through advanced. You should be comfortable in the ocean and able to paddle and catch your own waves, and your guide matches the break to the group and the forecast each day. If you'd like extra guidance, add lessons with qualified instructors. Unsure? Tell us about your surfing and we'll give you an honest assessment.

Is there any coaching?

Not as standard, which keeps your days free and the price lower. If you'd like some, add 1.5-hour lessons with qualified instructors or a day of one-on-one high-performance coaching.

Can I come on my own?

Definitely. Plenty of guests travel solo, and couples, friends and families join too. With a group of up to 10 sharing meals and film nights, you won't be on your own for long.

How do I get there?

Fly into Perth. Transfers from Perth Airport to the house are included within the set arrival and departure windows. Flights aren't included, but Salt Atlas can help you book through ATOL-protected partners.

Which month should I pick?

Autumn (March to May) has the most consistent conditions, with offshore winds. Summer (December to February) brings warmer water and smaller waves, good for building confidence. This year's confirmed trips leave on 20 October, 19 November and 13 December, and the December trip lines up with the start of summer. For 2027, tell us the month you'd like.

What else can I do there?

Optional extras include whale and dolphin watching, the Busselton Underwater Observatory, diving and snorkelling at the jetty or the HMAS Swan wreck, jet ski tours, a wildfood canoe tour, craft beer and winery tours, and fitness classes.

Do I need a visa or insurance?

Travel insurance is required. Visa requirements depend on your nationality, and arranging one is your responsibility.
